Its quite likely that Governor Jackson doesn’t get much pleasure out of hearing the popular phrase, “it won't be long now.” It probably sounds uncanny. X- M«_ Remus is still crazy, a surprise to most folks. How long will it take to cure him? How long will he stay cured? Will he' still be crazy If he gets out and kills some one else? Time will tell. Here's wishing you all a Happy New Year, with three hundred and sixty-six days of happiness, good fortune, good health and everything necessary to make the world a fine place in which to reside. It wouldn't seem like holidays without a big fire in the retail section of Fort Wayne. Now they have had it and a real one, with a loss of three quarters of a million and everybody is ready for the New Year. Old Man Winter has evidently been waiting just around the corner for 1928, anyway, here he comes walking brazenly right in with the infant. Indications are that we will not have to complain about the warm weather and the rainy season for a while. Senator Watson was finally caught by* a telegram from the prosecutor of Marion county and said he might return to testify about contributions and other suspicious occurences qf past elections. Gee, if Jim has to tell ALL he knows about these affairs he will keep the boys on the joh another year or two. Good-bye old 1927 will all your troubles and woes, your murders and disasters, your political intrigues and your disclosures of corruption in offices, big and small, your joys and your pleasures and your successes, good-bye, we say, and may 1928 improve in many ways over your model. Frank C. Ball, of Muncie, has chosen not to run, at least he feels that so far there has not been sufficient demand to make him assume the burden of house cleaning for those who have gotten his party and his state into bad repute and he has so notified Senator Watson who has been his chief sponsor. The embryo auctioneer is an optimist. While farm sales have not been so numerous the past few years as in the days of old, the Fred Rcppert school at Decatur has a bunch, of forty-five enrolled for the winter term. Mr. Rcppert has added two men to his staff of instructors, both “colonels” of course. — Bluffton Banner. The city of Joliet, Illinois, is "dead broke", according to announcement by Mayor George Sehring.

Lindy doesn't drink and all the efforts of kings and presidents and .- royalty seems not to have shaken his f determination to remain a teetoler. t He has been embarassessed often s when throngs at the banquet tables have arisen to drink a toast to him but he has never more than touched > his lips just to be courteous.

The Indiana Good Roads Association is making a stiff fight to see that every highway dollar is spent upon a highway, that is that the money raised for that purpose is spent withont graft. It will seem to many thats an easy job but it isn’t and only by the watchfulness of a few people and by ' the fact that honest, straight men have served on the commission has ; the money been some where near spent wisely. The fight is still on for the wary grafters are always lurking 1 about looking for some way by which they can get their hooks in the money pot and only by the most careful ■ watching all the time will they be s headed off.
